Thanksgiving denied , Christmas denied now New Years eve?I guess we are the most important entity in chicago if its so imperative that we have to work on holidays no matter what. I had plans to go to cuba but i guess i have to cancel them.

Who cares? We have the leadership we voted for. Have you ever felt safer? Obama has made America respected as never before around the world, and his chief of staff has a ballerina plan in place for Chicago. What could go wrong? if the attack comes, Rahm will say it doesn't reflect Chicago values and cry like the North Shore suburbanite he is. Of course, he'll be doing that from communist Cuba.

All tac teams and units have their RDO's canceled... This "Chi-town rising" event is huge it is like 5 blocks long, the department has known about it for 6 months, but of corse they wait till 6 days before to form a plan. Be careful everyone!

With terrorist threats being such a concern you would think the department would have a unit at the ready to respond. We can't rely on SWAT it would be too late. CPD should have officers who are carbine operators and possess their own, patrolling and visible for deterence. They should be at the airports or downtown etc. There should be a unit created for this or maybe just a 24 hour OT program. We have OT programs for everything else why not one for carbine operators? Visibility is deference.

Hey PPO you signed up for this job and note all important holiday you will be working. Get use to it.

The leaders of this city and department are so scared of how things look to the public instead of doing what's smart to protect the public. The only way to deter or stop a terrorist attack is meeting force with equal force. Long guns vs Long guns. We should have rifle qualified POs patrolling various areas with their long guns. If the leaders are foolishly scared about "how it looks" then keep the POs in their cars but at least have them there. Start an OT opportunity for rifle qualified POs or a unit. SWAT is great but we can't wait for them. We need long guns visible and on patrol at vulnerable locations. It's common sense. I'm sure numerous carbine POs would sign up for the OT. We need to take action now not after an attack. Wake up! Get the long guns visible!

More than likely to "protect" the police hating Ch 5 and their shit show with the rising star. It would be great if someone steals Mary Ann Ahern's "I-foam" and then Rob Elgas can do an in depth investigation of the lack of coverage for their self-serving media event. Hey Carol Marin - maybe then you can have the "Ferguson style" riots which you clamored for this past August but never materialized.

I would love to know why our Department hides the fact that we are looking to identify a terrorist. What do they put out in a bulletin, some bullshit about him being a witness to a crime and if identified contact the Intelligence Section. WTF is that about. This male was observed inside Soldier Field weeks ago around 0500 hours with a video camera and a still camera taking pictures of damn near every square inch of the facility including the vending machines.

Here is the kicker Monterrey Security watched him for nearly a half an hour, then they approach him and he flees on foot getting away. The real scary part is these idiots failed to notify CPD for several days. Why the hell this is not being plastered all over the news is beyond me. So for anyone going to Soldier Field I would advise against it.

I fully expect our Department to lie to us but the fact that they hide this from us is completely absurd. Instead they want us to chase the protestors, all while these terrorists lie in wait for a perfect opportunity to strike.

For anyone that doubts this look it up on the Administrative Messages from 04 Dec 2015.

Stay Safe out there, because now even the exempts are hiding stuff that can get us killed, all for the fact of not offending some group.

Well, considering I had my APPROVED personal day in 10 days in advance for the 31st,AS REQUIRED BY ORDERS, and it being the last day of the year, I suppose I'll have to file a grievance to get that day PAID if in fact they should cancel it. Hey maybe they can just add that day to the Desk Sergeant grievance $$$$ they owe me.

Not in 012...less than 10 years on the job on midnight and the commander clears you for a 13B furlough...Hey Jimmy bring back some snow

12/26/2015 01:36:00 AM

You want the commander to prevent people from taking 13B furloughs? Should we cancel all furlough segments that have a holiday in them? Let me guess, you have slightly more than 10 years on, and you're on a different watch, and you didn't get a 13B, so you cry about someone on midnights getting what you wanted? Tell me if I'm close on any of that. Moron.

not only that but ALL the foot guys that are sat/sun off and i know you read this you asses, not only get Saturday and Sundays off but they along with a select few have the watch scammed on days. between " station security" assignments or a " detail to 1201- RM" simply to apparently get whatever needed to get done for the "watch" potluck.REALLY?????? They're the 1st ones to bitch- G,W,O,M,D,( god forbid you ever work a beat car!!) what a scam, and that doesn't include the office personnel up in the front office!!!! everyone gets denied yet theses idiots somehow are off or leave early , why? because they're foot guys? again ! you know who you are because, not all foot guys( the ones in day off groups ) are bad... and lets not forget to talk about the the whole "06 " team!- they bid for watch and furlough picks but as the prick "EK" stated" they're not to work the watch or get calls that a beat car would normally handle.... what the F!!!! cancel this you douche!!

CPD SWAT is no match for a dedicated, trained terrorist group, bent on destruction and murder. End of Story.

Imaging if they attacked the airports. There's almost zero armed presence there. If anything maybe a few old timers with revolvers. We need guys patrolling with rifles. That's the only way to possibly stop or deter an attack. SWAT is too far away. Start an OT program for qualified rifle cops. Have them deployed like VRI but at vulnerable places like the airports. Be proactive Chicago!

Well even if ISIS carries out attacks Obama will still blame white Christians and continue to bring these fuckers in by the thousands. This along with the anti police/pro radical ideology will bring us to civil war. Are you ready??

Gotta love the Command Staffs logic. The superintendent told all the Officers and Sergeants of GED you did a great job the last 7 years, so great that we are promoting your Commander to Deputy Chief. But we cant promote 200 hundred people and we think the Department would be better served if you were in Patrol so thanks and don't take in personal. Oh but the chiefs neighbors can stay in Organized Crime- they are fantastic Sergeants.

This city of Chicago the worst place to live or do business it needs a new mayor not in 3 years now !!!!!. To all who continue to fuck this department further shame shame shame . protester must get back to the main task Emanuel hasTo go and only the citizen United can make this happen .

You know not of what you speak. Not giving away anything (think about it), and not everyone at O'Hare is a dinosaur. Quite a few guys on 3rd watch with semi-auto's that know what they're doing. While I agree that the rifle-qualified guys need to carry them, it's not the retirement village you think it is.Signed, 050 Guy

*****************************Not saying to cancel furloughs....the cut off for 13b is about 17 years on the job but yet some asshat with 10 years on the job submitted a sob story to/from and gets a 13b.

955am we have an anti terrorist unit in mass transit unit 704 who received millions in federal grants?????? Im wondering what they do too and I work out of mass transit to I'm just not in that elite unit

Does the FOP or Deans FLOP keep track of how many times the City has these threat and emergency's?

When those genius Alderman changed the proper amount of officers needed to keep the City in check (13,500) it became apparent that everything is an emergency now! I don't recall the lovely 1990's with project buildings ever crying wolf this many time a year.

Summer festivals, playoffs,visiting presidents, and of course terrorist who post on twitter! Now if the exempts actually had training on leading troops and controlling riots or mass arrest I would feel somewhat at ease.

Next contract may need some stipulation on this every things a emergency because we are understaffed! Come up with a special employment for those officers begging for overtime scraps.

Anyone know how many times this year elective time was restricted? It is a mystery that desk dollies seem to never be detailed and still seem to be home on every holiday. I though cameras were going to save downtown from protest?!?

Need bosses to give the green light for full time carry at some locations. If your not carrying it when the shit hits the fan, and its locked away somewhere, its useless!! I don't care if EVERY copper at ohare is qualified, you have to be wearing it. step up spineless bosses....for the sake of American safety.

Let this city burn.

Since when was NYE considered a holiday ?

Sure, let this city burn. Your house first, though, since you're so big on the whole idea. Ass.

Unless you're part of the unit, why SHOULD you need to know anything about their operation? Shouldn't that be part of the definition of an anti-terror unit? You're not on the 'need to know' list, so get over it.

And I'd say they made a wise choice not to put you on that team, since you feel the need to blab about covert operations on a public blog..

They received millions in grants but the city stole most of it. Ask the old commander why he left so fast. Was about to get thrown under the bus like gary.

"Armed security officers will guard this event. Chicago Police will not get involved. This is a private - open to the public run event. Private security only event."

12/26/2015 03:51:00 PM

Hmm.

"How will Chi-Town Rising secure this large scale event?

"Chi-Town Rising is working closely with the City of Chicago, Chicago Police Department, Chicago Fire Department, and Office of Emergency Management to ensure all appropriate safety measures are in place. Security measures will be in effect to proactively address potential issues, including public intoxication and open alcohol. Ticketed attendees to Chi-Town Rising events will be required to show positive ID and submit to inspections."

Well I know they took a bunch of hacks that didn't have the 28+ year otj that it takes to make it to either airport.If you are a 28+ vet with glock or Springfield then I salute you and you did your time.If you are those other hacks that kissed ass and cried to daddy for a spot you fucked over a lot of decent old timers.

Well, you got me. I'm going to come up with a good comeback. It's just gonna take some time. But that's ok...I'll think of something. Maybe after I hang up with my dad. Better yet, right after I walk the terminals for exercise. Maybe when I'm working my day off for time and a half. I won't be able to think up a snappy comeback while the Stanley Cup is coming through though. And remember...the airports are 50-50%. Don't hate the player, hate the game.

Wow that was long winded. I'm still off on New Year's Eve and day. Oh, and you can still go get your shine box.

I know I have to work holidays when scheduled, and I know stuff comes up.... But cancelling RDO's with only 6 days notice, for an event they have known about for 6 months is complete bullshit... even if you are in a tac team, unit, etc...
